Summary: My wife loves the Henckels Pro S 7 piece set
Comment: I recently purchased a Henckels Pro S 7 piece knife set for my wife on her birthday. It has proved to be an absolute winner! All of the reviews I read about the product has been right-on. The knives do their job the way they have been advertised to do. I am extremely happy with this purchase.

Summary: Like the handles better than the 4-Star
Comment: I bought the 4-Star set, and instantly returned it and got the Pro-S instead. I was dissapointed with the handles of the 4-Star, the plastic (IMHO) diminished the aesthetics and the "feel" of the knives. I learned that the 4-Star's "full rat tail tang" is very different than a true "full tang" found in the Pro-S. The rat tail tang reduced the weight and the sense of handling that I eventually ended up getting from the Pro-S series handle style (full tang, riveted, and heavier). I like seeing the tang!
The blades in both of course are superb - but if you like a heavier handle and if you like to "see" the full tang (the rat tail tang is embedded/invisible in the plastic handle of the 4-star) go for the Pro-S.
Best to actually hold and compare both styles before you order. I have a friend who loves the lighter plastic handle, so I guess its a matter of personal preference.
PS - the Pro-S was only $20 more (I got it on sale, but even when not on sale they are comparable). I DID like getting the Santoku with the 4-star (but it was the small 5 inch one rather than the 7 inch). The Pro-S does not come with the Santoku, so I will have to buy one............

Summary: Absolutely fantastic
Comment: Got my Pro "S" 7pc. set for Christmas and haven't looked back. In the course of researching the 4- and 5-star and Pro "S" knives, I was informed that the only difference is the handle material. The Pro "S" is the same as the 4-star with a more durable material for the handle. At an additional $20 cost for the whole set, it seemed worth it.
Anyhow, these knives make short, EASY work of anything. I love the paring knife...cloves of garlic submit from a mile away, slicing small things is like cutting through a cloud.
The chef's knife is fantastic. I was a little miffed when I read that the 4-star set had the Santoku, but I'm not terrribly worried. For chopping "billowy" stuff like cilantro bunches, etc., the pronounced "rocking" action of the chef's knife is clearly preferable to me.
The boning knife does it's job well and I prefer it for butterflying steaks, chops, cutlets, etc.
The utility knife does a fine job on tomatoes, bagels, etc.
The scissors I haven't used much yet...not sure what to use it for besides snipping the string off of butcher packages. They are silky smooth to use, though.
All in all, I am very happy I have this set. My sisters have the $60-ish Fine Edge Henckels International set which is terrible...they HAVE been using it on a GLASS cutting board (!) but really they ought to perform better than the pulling and ripping I had to do last night with some red peppers.
These knives are FAR AND AWAY in a different league than those and I couldn't be happier. Got my Polypropylene cutting board and I am off to the races.

Summary: Great for a start
Comment: I'm not an expert in the kitchen, but I wanted a good set of knives. I debated between this and the 9 piece set. The 9 pc. set adds an 8" bread knife and a 6" utility knife to this set, for more [$$$]. I opted instead for this set, and purchased a bread knife (actually the 9" French bread knife) . Instead of the utility knife, I bought a carving fork through open stock to complement the carving knife. Total cost was about the same as the 9 pc. set.Do a little searching on the Internet; you will find plenty of tutorials on how to hone your knives, how to sharpen them, and how to use them correctly. I had never really used good knives before, and now I actually look like I know what I'm doing. These knives wipe clean easily; don't ruin your investment by putting them in the dishwasher. Incidentally, I thought I would never use the utility scissors, and I find myself using them all the time.
